Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Rescue experiments using fragments of the (P)RR gene in (P)RR-deficient MEF showed the essential role of the (P)RR extracellular domain in maintenance of cell life. However, once V-ATPase is constructed, processing of the full length (P)RR to the extracellular (P)RR domain is not always necessary for the construction of V-ATPase. In addition, the mice overexpressed soluble (P)RR, that is almost extracellular domain of (P)RR, had no abnormal phenotype. Whereas, the mice overexpressed full-length (P)RR had fast muscle-dominant muscle atrophy mimicked human sarcopenia. The mechanism involved molecules contributing to autophagy, Wnt signals, and Sirt1.
